All Of Us Strangers.

I liked it enough, specially with how good it looks. The photography is gorgeous really. The cast is alright. I guess is more powerful for those who experienced something similar in life.

But that twist at the end threw me off. I kinda saw it coming after he talks with his parents at the restaurant, and I found it unnecessary. A it too much maybe and I don’t get why he kept seeing Mescal’s character

Have you seen The Discarnates? The first adaptation of the novel. From the same director of Hausu. Is great.

Spoiler: show
because he wanted to, and because Mescal's character wanted to see him; the same reason he kept seeing his parents (until his parents decided to stop visiting him, because even ghosts can exercise free will); for me the movie is about unfinished business, and desire, as well as grief; and it's set apart from most of these imaginative "grief movies" by treating its ghosts as sentient, able to make decisions of their own accord and visit us, not just figments of the living's imagination

The Depahted. As entertaining as ever. One of Scorsesesese' best. I forgot how much of a cartoon character Nicholson is in this role. One of a kind.

Wahlberg gets better every time I see it
Yeah that's true, and I'm not usually a fan of his. This and Boogie Nights might be the only movies I like him in, and I like him a lot in them.

I wouldn't call him a great actor, but sometimes he can be used perfectly. Like in those two movies and also I Heart Huckabees.
